The Event

In today’s rapidly evolving media and communications landscape, engaging  effectively with both external and internal stakeholders is paramount for the executives who manage leading  B2B and B2C brands.

Digital and product disruption is challenging corporate communications, PR and corporate affairs managers to think differently about their core products and services and come up with creative and innovative strategies to shift their stakeholder’s mindset around their brands.

The most effective way for brands to keep pace with the new channels of communication and interaction with stakeholders is by having an outstanding team behind it – one that understands both the latest trends and best practice delivery methods.

The Women in Comms and PR conference will be a unique platform for communications, PR, corporate, government and external affairs executives from across sectors in Australia. Coming from different stages of leadership and career advancement strategies, they will come together to share their experiences and insights on how to directly address the challenges of inspiring leadership and help comms and PR managers build the skills and capabilities they need to operate in a fast changing environment.
